I must admit,I have had bad experience with Sony LCD monitors. A couple of years ago I bought a... from Cnet.com Good for watching movies. It could use a little more dynamic range for brightness and contrast. I was somewhat disappointed with the color initially until loaded the Sony supplied color mangement drivers. Overall a good choice. from Digitaltrends.com I bought this monitor in April 2004. It broke December 19. It started going to sleep in November and then on December it went permanetly black. The paper work needed by Sony inorder to send a replacement (refurbished) monitor was faxed and recieved by Soney that day. from Amazon.com I have used this monitor for around a month now and generally like this monitor. I have previously used a Dell 18" UltraSharp LCD monitor, a ViewSonic 19" LCD monitor, and I would rank this one second to the Dell monitor. Reasons: from Amazon.com BUYER BEWARE... I purchased one of these monitors and after two months dead pixels began appearing right in the center of the monitor. Of course, two months is usually longer than the period you have to return the product to your retailer for an exchange (hopefully no questions asked) without having to deal with Sony. Anybody who has used an LCD monitor with dead pixels can empathize with how frustrating they can be, especially dead pixels located in the center of the monitor. from Amazon.com I bought this monitor in April 2004. It broke December 19. from Amazon.com I have had this monitor for almost a year (I did not buy it here). I paid too much for it, but it has proven to be a great monitor - especially using the DVI connector. from Amazon.com I have to admit that this is a very fine and beautiful monitor. The display is very crisp and vibrant and the 1600x1200 resolution on a 20" monitor is definitely worth the hefty price tag. from Amazon.com I have used this monitor for around a month now and generally like this monitor. I have previously used a Dell 18" UltraSharp LCD monitor, a ViewSonic 19" LCD monitor, and I would rank this one second to the Dell monitor. from Amazon.com This monitor is expensive, but the resolution, crispness and lack of ghosting make it worthwhile if you can afford it. One cool feature that isn't really mentioned is that it has 2 analog vga inputs and one dvi input, which are all selectable. from Amazon.com
